Beige themed kitchen with a stone-clad cabinet, stainless steel appliances, and more

An outdoor kitchen made for entertaining, relaxing, and everything in between.

Eddie and Mary Barrios love to entertain for family and friends. What started as a place to host holiday parties and family gatherings, has quickly transformed into quiet evenings enjoying dinner overlooking the water. The Barrios family created a true backyard paradise in Mandeville, LA.

Blaze Professional Gas Grill

Eddie Barrios has a passion for grilling. When he was ready to build his outdoor kitchen he knew BBQGuys would assist him with all the questions he had on what would work best for his outdoor space. Working with one of our talented experts, he chose the Blaze Professional Gas Grill. Adding the Blaze Drop-In Side Burner, was a perfect addition for whipping up side dishes and sauces. Adding the Blaze Vent Hood gets rids of all the excess smoke from the grill.

Outdoor Sink & Storage

With the amount of time the Barrios family anticipated using their outdoor kitchen they added a Fire Magic Sink & Faucet, Blaze Access Doors, a Blaze Door & Drawer Combo, and the Blaze Roll Out Trash Drawer. Having storage makes it convenient to store utensils, dinnerware, and even condiments. This takes the hassle away from running back and forth to the kitchen. Since the weather changes daily in Louisiana, Eddie knew he needed a covering over his outdoor kitchen so the rain wouldn't stop him from grilling.

The Barrios family loves to host parties at their home. With 4 grown children, Eddie & Mary love having their family over for a get together. Whether it's a bridal shower, or to root on their favorite football team, the Barrios family makes all their guests feel at home.

To keep their guests entertained while they are grilling, they added an Outdoor TV. Having a large TV outside not only keeps their guests entertained, but Eddie doesn't miss the big game while he is grilling.

Patio Dining Set

Steps away from their outdoor kitchen is a beautiful outdoor dining set. A patio dining set is the perfect addition to their outdoor space. Having a dining table outside where family and friends can enjoy a good meal and nice conversation makes their outdoor area complete.

With a large yard overlooking the water, there was plenty of room for seating. Eddie and Mary added the Lafitte Conversation Set to their deck area, to create a more comfortable space.

To tie the look together Mary picked an indoor/outdoor rug by Jaipur Rugs in birch field.

Perfect for Entertaining Family & Friends

Eddie and Mary Barrios always dreamed of having an outdoor kitchen and with the help of BBQGuys that dream came true. Not only can Eddie be found grilling up his favorite foods, but Mary enjoys grilling as well. Their outdoor space started out as a place to entertain, and now Eddie and Mary find themselves cooking at home, instead of going out to eat.

A great addition to their outdoor space was adding a Blaze Refrigerator. Having beverages and condiments easily accessible keeps guests from having to constantly run inside when they need a refill.

There is nothing more important to them than family, and having their new outdoor kitchen combines their love for family with their love for grilling. From steaks to mouthwatering fajitas, Mr. and Mrs. Barrios grill any chance they get.
